Using bgclear

How do I remove a photo background on my phone?

Short answer

On Android or iPhone, open bgclear.ai in Chrome or Safari, tap Upload, pick the photo from your gallery, wait a few seconds, and tap Download — the transparent PNG lands in your gallery or Files. No app, no signup, free and unlimited.

Use the original photo from the gallery rather than one forwarded through WhatsApp; forwarded images are compressed and the edges suffer. Good light and a plain wall behind the subject give the cleanest result.

To put a white or coloured background behind the cutout, open the editor after removal and choose a preset before downloading. For ID photos, follow the passport-size photo guide to crop to the required size afterwards.

Free, unlimited, no signup, no watermark. About five seconds per image.

Can I change the background colour after removing it?

Yes. After removal, the editor lets you keep the background transparent or switch to white, black, blue and other solid colours, gradient and studio backdrops, a blurred version of the original, or your own photo — then add a shadow or outline and download.
